Libre Office isn't just a usable substitute for Word and the rest of Office. It is downright superior -- it being free and open source need not even be in the equation. I tried to use Word on my partner's laptop the other day and all I could think was "what is this crap??".

I too prefer Writer over Word, but Calc is a poor substitute for Excel.

Excel alone is the reason why Microsoft Office is the defacto standard. Nobody gives a shit about word processing or mail clients. It's also not even about spreadsheets and calculating stuff. It's all about those VBA scripts in Excel.

Excel is an easy to use IDE to run a business.
